Ezra 1:9

"This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,"

Key Reflection

I only have the World English Bible (WEB) available right now, not NIV. Want me to quote the WEB instead?

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Chargers -The word in the original thus translated occurs only in this passage. Its meaning is doubtful. Some derive it from a Hebrew root, “to hollow out,” and translate “cup” or “vessel.” Knives -This is another doubtful word, only used here. The etymology points to some employment of basket-work.
